commenced a sightseeeing flight over
the Okavango Delta from
Maun Airport

This one on the other hand,
is definitely grounded and has not
moved for seven or eight years.

Heh… I was wondering where you were going to take this one. Clever! 🙂 I love it.

I’m taking a guess that you are referring to the single engine aircraft, Patrick. It sits in the front yard of a house that is just off the Geelong Ring Road, as you head to the coast from Melbourne. I mentioned that it would look good in our front yard. From memory it was a hot day and the drop in temperature was kind of welcome…for a while. 😉 Subsequently, I had a closer look and I doubt if any of it is visible from the front of the house.

Good guess! 🙂
My father was air force. “Prang” was the word used to describe any untoward event befalling an aircraft. Nose down into the ground is about as perfect a prang as it gets.

I have never heard of the word prang used specifically for aircraft mishaps, Patrick. I remember it being used in a more general sense. For example; I had a bit of a prang on Monday March 4 when I ran into the back of a tandem trailer, while on my way to visit my auntie. However, I will concede that prang was around during my primay school days and there were many sons and daughters of ex-service men and women that I went to school with, but still have no idea of which branch of the armed forces their parents served with.
